Note: Use of IS 456, IS 3370, IS 800, IRC 6, IRC 112 and Steel Tables is allowed.
1. Design a cantilever retaining wall to support a bank of earth 6 m above basement level.
U
Consider the backfill surface to be inclined at 180 with the horizontal. The angle of repose of
soil is 300. The unit weight of the soil is 18 kN/m3. The coefficient of friction between the
se
soil and concrete is 0.5. Bearing capacity of the soil is 250kN/m2. Use M 30 grade concrete
and Fe 500 grade steel. Sketch the reinforcement details. [15]

2. Design a Counterfort retaining wall to support an earth fill of 7 m above the ground level.
The depth of foundation is 2 m below ground level. The SBC of soil is 200 kN/m2. The
angle of repose of soil is 350. The unit weight of the soil is 19 kN/m3. The coefficient of
Pa
friction between the soil and concrete is 0.55. Spacing of counterforts = 3 m c/c. Use M 25
grade concrete and Fe 500 grade steel. Sketch the reinforcement details. [15]

3. Design the exterior panel of a flat-slab floor system for a proposed office building
30 m × 30 m divided into panels of 5 m × 5 m. Loading = 6 kN/m2. Use M 25 concrete and
Fe 500 grade steel. Use 450 mm × 450 mm size columns. Assume the height of the storey as
3.5 m. [15]

4. An RC grid roof slab is to be designed for a live load of 3 kN/m2, for a conference hall of
12 m × 14 m. The spacing of ribs in the mutually perpendicular directions is 2 m c/c. Use M
Fe
25 concrete and Fe 500 grade steel. Analyse the grid floor and design the reinforcement in
the Rib and slab. Sketch the reinforcement details. [15]
5. Design a circular water tank of capacity 600 kilo liters resting on ground and having a
b
flexible base condition. Use M 30 grade concrete and Fe 500 grade steel. Bearing capacity
of the soil at the site is 300 kN/m2. Design the tank as per IS 3370. Sketch the reinforcement

details. [15]
6. Design a circular water tank of 15 m diameter and 3.5 m height. Free board is 300 mm. The
tank rests on firm ground. The walls are fixed at base and free at top. Use M 35 grade
22
concrete and Fe 500 grade steel. Bearing capacity of the soil at the site is 350 kN/m2. Design
the tank as per IS 3370. Sketch the reinforcement details. [15]

7. Design a reinforced concrete (RC) slab culvert for a state highway to suit the following data:
Carriage way = Two Lane (7.5 m wide)
Use M30 concrete and Fe 500 grade steel. Kerbs = 600 mm wide, Clear span = 7.3 m,
TU
Wearing coat = 75 mm. Width of bearing = 0.4 m. Loading = IRC Class AA. Design the RC
deck slab and sketch the reinforcement details. [15]
8. Design a simply supported Gantry girder to carry an electric overhead travelling crane, for
the following data:
H
Span of the gantry girder = 7.5 m; Span of crane girder = 18 m; Crane capacity = 250 kN;
Self weight of crane girder excluding trolley = 200 kN; Self weight of trolley = 60 kN;
Minimum hook approach = 1.2 m; Distance between wheels = 3.5 m; Self weight of
U
rails = 0.3 kN/m. Design the Gantry girder and draw a sketch showing its cross section
details along with welding details. [15]
